  This Generation/ 1975

  by TxNVSue2023 in

  2. beliefs

  i was born in 1977 & came in as a convert in 2003 --- so i have no idea what went on before my time.. however i have been familiar with the scriptures of "nobody knows the day or hour" & " it will come as a theif in the night" meaning that it was sure but unpredictable time.

  how could anyone belive that anyone else ( organization or not) put a date on it?.

  also what was the significance of 1975 anyway?

  Not just that-- it wasn't until the publisher numbers began to shrink that they decided to even say anything about it, and their first attempt was to claim to have been misunderstood by an overeager rank and file. It wasn't until much later that they modified the language to admit that maybe they were also partly at fault.

  DerekMoors: I'm betting he didn't realize that number would still show

  That's funny, if true.

  We might be entering a new phase, where the Patreon numbers don't tell enough of the story anymore. Just keep in mind, that if he had 5,000 patrons and fewer than 200 were paying him, he'd be in a panic. What's even more funny- his critics might make up more than half of his patron count before long, thanks to the free tier. How long before he decides that it is a bad idea?

  LMsA: If he doesn't comply

  I have no idea if a countersuit is feasible or not. But if it was and they won, they wouldn't need to care if he complied or not. The verdict itself would be a direct kick in the pants. What could he do, at that point? Ignore it? Fine, everyone else could paper the internet with it and use it to embarrass him further. Or maybe he would make a post to his supporters, criticizing the verdict and making a show of promising not to comply? That would bring the news straight to the one remaining group that he really wishes wouldn't see it.

  Then again, this seems to be the case with him over and over. His arrogance and plain old meanspiritedness have led him down a path of one bad decision after another. I don't really think it's possible for him to fix this anymore. The hole is too deep. His options are to keep digging until he disappears, or learn to wash dishes semi-competently and live on a shoestring.

  DerekMoors: there are certain rules you need to follow when filing paperwork

  Yep. Courts tend to have very specific ways of presenting information and even how to describe acts and activity, so that there is no confusion. If all he did was provide pages with links and vague insinuations ("at this link, defendant defamed me"), the court will ask him to resubmit and to follow certain protocol.

  "You know what you did" and "I don't need to tell you what you did" does not work in a courtroom. It will get your case dismissed, often with prejudice (ie, you cannot file it again). Courts are very busy places that have to deal with lots of time-wasting nonsense, so they have developed ways to minimize the impact of garbage like this.

  I’m not sure what this means!

  2. experiences

  yesterday i was visited by 2 witnesses, and we had a long chat about lots of things!

  one of them named claire took the lead and i instantly felt some sort of connection to her, after we had spoken and they had left i started to have this overwhelming feeling to research her and what she had spoken about but i couldn’t find her anywhere on any website or social media, so i left it and thought nothing more of it all day….

  however the strange thing is i had a dream that night and claire was in it, many things happened in this dream that i was told i was only allowed to speak about with claire, i can speak of the dream to others but the details only me and claire can know!

  NeedsProof: Is this normal to experience

  It is not unusual to have dreams related to events from your day. I agree with Phizzy that they're just that- your mind keeping itself busy while you sleep.

  What if, just as Armageddon begins, a DF person has a heart attack from the realization that it is the end? Does Jehovah watch them intently to see if they actually died before or after it officially began?

  Thanks Atlantis.

  The constant focus on secrecy is bizarre. "For the love of all that is holy, do NOT let people see this literature that we will be handing to them a few days later!"

  WingCommander: Lett only plays a clown. Evans really is a clown.

  That's it, exactly. You could distill it into the perfect essence of clown by using Lett's facial expressions and Lloyd's talking points. We don't even need a new name for it, since one already exists: assclown.

  KIMSILVIO: (Derek started it with the use of cult phrases)

  LOL

  Okay, I see where the problem was with the criminal lawsuit:

  "the defendants [...] are charged with several criminal offenses against honor and reputation[...]"

  On further examination, the court recognized that the defendants could not commit a criminal offense against things that do not exist.

  let's get the fun started and put in our votes for how far down the pumpkin patch lord of the fries will fall in november.. for those keeping score, last month he started at 457 patrons, did some begging and managed to bump those numbers up to 478, but as of this writing he's down to 439.. so, how well do you think the grift will continue this month?

  let us know where you think he'll be on november 2. lucky number 420?

  will he drop back down below 400?
